Side By Side . . .



Teddy "then & now".

Over 100 years have past between their birthdays and no generation gap.
"Old Bear" has seen much in his 107 years, sadly too many wars, financial depression and human tragedies, thru all this he has been there to comfort.
But . . . "Old Bear" has also seen much good, the end of wars, soldiers coming home . . . a walk on the moon, triumphs of everyday spirit & the bloom of spring. For these events he has been there to share in celebration !
Oh my, he has much to tell a young 2 day old whipper snapper like "Young Bear" who is just beginning his journey into the amazing life of a teddy bear.

Thank you all for allowing me to create a simple "teddy bear" that can still bring so much comfort and joy!

Aw, they are lovely together! What a great oldie, and so kind to pass on his wisdom to the youngster.

Amazing work, and I liked the tale of two generations...you hippie, you! A foot in the past and a sensitive foot pointed outward.
